Polo shirts size guide: how to fit your work team
Polo shirts sizing at a glance
Polos fit closer through the neck, chest and shoulders than a jersey t-shirt, so the chest measurement becomes your single source of truth. Our default polo run is regular fit XS–XXL. If any of your team are between sizes, size up once — the pique fabric gives you a cleaner collar over time.
- The collar is the tell — a polo that rides up at the neck is a size too small.
- Pique is heavier than jersey, so if two sizes both fit, pick the roomier one.
- Women's polo shirts are cut shorter in the body; order those separately to avoid rehemming.
The size run to plan around
XS–XXL, with 3XL on selected classic styles

When a size looks off
Everything above is a starting point, not a rule. If you're between sizes, order a couple first and return the ones that don't fit. The Polo Shirts workwear page has the full size table on every product.
